帕布莉卡“一开始我悄咪咪地进行写作，然后我就打败了屠格涅夫先生。接着我严格锻炼自己，我又打败了莫泊桑先生。我与司汤达先生接连两局对战成平手，在决胜局中我想我还是以微弱的优势占了上风。可是谁也没法让我跑到拳击台上去挑战托尔斯泰先生，除非是我疯了，或是我的水平还能不停地提高。”
“I started out very quiet and I beat Mr. Turgenev. Then I trained hard and I beat Mr. de Maupassant. I’ve fought two draws with Mr. Stendhal, and I think I had an edge in the last one. But nobody’s going to get me in any ring with Mr. Tolstoy unless I’m crazy or I keep getting better.”
